Title: Skyway express?
Post by: JeffreyS on April 07, 2010, 02:35:30 PM
Seems the skyway now runs express from Kings ave to Florida state college. Two minute wait today at Kings ave six minute ride to Hemming plaza. No transfer at central station.

It was about 1:30 and there were 6 people including us on the ride to Hemming on the way back 6 rode to central station and my son and I were the only ones to take the car to Kings ave. There were 4 or five people in the ajoining car on both trips.  Not having to change at central station really makes it a better system.

how does it skip over Central from Kings Ave?

How does the new Riverplace station look?

It does not skip central you just do not have to change trams there. Before everything went to central and then turned around and went back where it came from. Now if you are on the North-South line you can go all the way without transferring.

Riverplace looked fine from the window.

Riverplace is nice.  Looks pretty much the same as the rest.  Clean and well lit.
